| Description | Our article focuses on the apocalypse as the structure principle of novel saga Chronicles of Plateau-Mont-Royal. Tremblay, Québec author and playwrighter, creates an extense formation, predestinated to destruction, because of prohibited, incest love which prefigures an indispensable punishment and tragical end of one family, one world. The most tragical end comes in the case of Marcel, who balances between two worlds - imaginative and real - whose mutual tension he tries to overcome creating an alternative reality. But finally only reveals the emptiness of both spheres and the impossibility of any salvation. The purpose of our text consists not only in reconstruction of the apocalypse as the philosophy-theological concept of the ontological negation, but also in another meanings, which are rated by mythological recourse an religious mythemes raising the tragic end of Tremblay s novel universe. |
